What gives you that feeling?

The latest from the men 'in the know'....is that, Ralph 's people say there has been no inquires from any club and he's really happy where he is.

Hes a good manager who did a great job with tsg hoffenheim over 5 years but if I remember correctly doesn't he have health problems which is why I thought he stepped down?

On 22 September 2011, Rangnick stepped down as Schalke's manager due to exhaustion syndrome, stating that he currently does not have "the necessary energy to be successful and to develop the team and the club"

On 1 January 2011, Rangnick resigned as head coach of Hoffenheim, citing the sale of Luis Gustavo to Bayern Munich, of which he had not been informed, as his reason for resigning from the club

Would he get along with a DOF ?

I think a change in coaching style is what is needed. A lot of teams clocked on how we played. They knew we were going to sit back in the first half and invite pressure. We are way too predictable. That's why I don't want Mackay who sets his team up in a similar way to be hard to break down and rely on counter-attacks. I hope the board consider this.

Ian Holloway it is then Teix

I'd take Clarke back in a heartbeat before taking that maniac...

His club have said there's been no contact. He's not ruled himself out!

Teix, I agree in principle but not with the players we've got available.

Our back 4 would get torn a new one if we played higher up the pitch!

To be more precise from Steve Madeley's Twitter feed:

"Another interesting phonecall. A member of Rangnick's 'camp' claims there's been no contact with any club."

You can't really draw any conclusion from that comment. It certainly doesn't mean he's been ruled out!

I did read somewhere that RR is interested in getting back into the head coaching role. If that's the case then he can't be all that happy where he is unless he wants to change roles within the club which seems unlikely to me!

I agree cox that we can't afford a sudden change in style. I don't think anyone would expect Ralf (not saying he's getting the job) to transform us Dortmund style overnight. But a new manager and new ideas should mean a gradual change in style. Hodgson didn't change everything straight away and neither did Mowbray when he transformed us. It was tweaking the way we play until they reached the summer and they could implement their own style.

Pochettino style then?

Sounds like someone out of an old Western....
